Basically, you can say that ANY international school or university in all of Europe can and will hire an American or other non-EU member citizen teacher IF that teacher has quals no European candidate can offer - and which the school in question has a specific need for.

The numbers of teachers getting in on such terms are very, very small, for obvious reasons.

I have never heard of any university or international school that specifically seeks only Americans. TASIS, the school cited above, does hire Americans, among others, but obviously the candidate with the best qualifications will get the job, regardless of passport.

Overall, the best advice is: if 'you' find a job opening for which 'you' are well-qualified at an international school or university in Europe - apply. If the school feels that you're the best candidate, your nationality will not matter: universities and international schools can hire you at this level, if they can make a case that you are better-qualified than any of the EU member applicants.

There are occasionally positions specifically for US citizens open on US military bases, but these are usually filled with the spouses of servicemen and women stationed there.

I wasn't implying that the school is out of the league of posters here.

However, I think the title of the thread is misleading - the school is not seeking specifically American teachers - they are seeking very highly-qualified teachers. This is the kind of thread that fools newbies into believing that 'this' is the loophole that will get them into Europe, hurrah! It's really kind of false advertising - it should be titled something like:

A few jobs for very highly qualified teachers available in Switzerland

Though - keep in mind they do not appear to be specifically seeking Americans! Their website's quite clear that they are proud of the international mix of their staff. They are going to hire the best candidates regardless of nationality, so far as I can tell.

You got me! I was just trying to be funny. I thought that the light beer might actually be something Europe does well. Depending on how you interpret your beer types. Czech and German varieties are good.
